Man I hope I never end up super rich or famous because I was a loser in my youth and I don't want anyone digging that shit up lol

It helps to not be a loser right now. Elon is in his 50s and still acts like a childish, insecure douchebag. The fact that you are able to acknowledge your previous loserdom makes you already less lame than Elon. No amount of money can make him cool because he completely refuses to ever work on himself.

This was from Tuesday (the comment). A 52 year old man posted that, though I use the word "man" loosely here...

I think you might be in luck.

You'd be just fine if you remain a decent human being rather than becoming an egotistical and racist pile of garbage.

Also, Musk was born rich and basically bought his fame.
